Mission & Impact Statements Mission Nashville Humane Association is committed to finding responsible homes, controlling pet overpopulation and promoting the humane treatment of animals. Background The Nashville Humane Association is one of the oldest service organizations in Nashville. The roots of NHA can be traced back to a society founded in 1887 to protect children from inhumane working conditions and draft horses from mistreatment. This non-profit was incorporated in 1946 to protect the well being of animals in Davidson County. Today, NHA continues to promote education and the humane treatment of animals through adoption, pet visitation programs, lost and found services, Safe Haven for pets in domestic violence situations, low cost or free pet spay/neuter services for qualified families or individuals. The primary source of funding is through individuals, foundations and corporations of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County. NHA is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

In 2018, Nashville Humane Association performed over 1700 spay and neuter surgeries; all at a reduced cost. We also completed 3334 adoptions, placing cats and dogs in loving, forever homes. NHA volunteers served 8000 hoursmost importantly, we were able to save 99% of animals in our care. A lot has changed over the years, but one thing remains unchanged we could not do it without you. Together we ve helped reduce the number of homeless pets in Nashville, middle Tennessee, and beyond Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama just to name a few other places of outreach. The strength of our community also allows us to work beyond our borders to help others in need. When Hurricane Florence struck in September of 2018 we had the resources and volunteers needed to rescue 89 homeless cats and dogs, treat their injuries and illnesses, and find them new homes! So thank you for your devotion. Your commitment and generosity are the lifeblood of our organization, and your efforts made 2018 so successful. On behalf of the pets you saves and the new beginnings you made possible, please accept our deepest thanks and appreciation. Because of you, homeless pets have a chance to grow, thrive, love and live. Laura Chavarria 3
